Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup bulgur fine grind
  • 1 cup cucumber finely diced
  • 1 cup parsley chopped
  • ½ cup smoked tomatoes diced
  • ¼ cup mint chopped
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place the bulgur in a bowl and cover it with 1 cup boiling water. Let it soak for about 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain any excess water and set it aside to cool.
  • Combine the finely diced cucumber, chopped parsley, diced smoked tomatoes, chopped mint, and finely chopped shallot in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the bulgur to the bowl of veggies once it is cool.
  • Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  • Pour the dressing over the bulgur and vegetables, then gently toss everything together until well combined.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Smoke the tomatoes ahead of time. You can also use regular tomatoes or even sundried tomatoes.
  • Use an alligator chopper to get your shallots and cucumbers finely diced.
  • Fresh parsley and mint make a significant difference in the flavor profile. Avoid dried herbs for this recipe.
  • The longer the salad sits, the better the flavors meld. It’s even better the next day!
